Splitting form inputs into separate task lines

Hello, I am wondering if smartsheet has the functionality to split a form input into multiple lines. For example, I have a multi-select column with Items A, B, C,. I select A, B, C in the form and submit. Once I submit, is there an automation that turns that form input into multiple separate lines in my project? So it would display as:

Thank you for any help or advice!

How many tasks do you have?

Do you need it all on one sheet?

the multiselect column we have has about 20 possible items. each item has 3 sub-tasks that ideally would be built out, but getting it to break out in separate lines would be a good first step. and yes, we'd like it to be populated in 1 sheet.

There maybe ways to accomplish your goal here but would require a little more then makes sense for this forum.

Could involve, using the API or Control Center etc.

Hi @Kelsey E

I hope you're well and safe!

It's possible, but it's pretty advanced.

I recently developed something similar for a client.

It creates a selectable number of assignment rows with specific details from a defined start date. Consultants use this to report their work hours and more on a row per date.

What data would need to be included on each row?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Thank you for you inputs! It did seem pretty advanced, but sounds "feasible".
